Ho Ka Chi (circa 1896-1970), also known as Wen-fang, was born in Shunde, Guangdong. He studied at Queen’s College and later graduated from the University of Hong Kong. In 1962, he taught at Clementi Secondary School, where a scholarship was established under his name, known as the “Ho Ka Chi Scholarship”. His younger brother He Qiyuan (birth name Ho Ka Fong, 1899-1970), was one of the Seven Masters of the Lingnan School’s Tin Fung group.
